  2. In all seriousness the New World Screwworm is a potentially very serious problem, but we’ve got top men working on it.
  3. This guy gets it One of these ford trucks in the parking lot of my gym had scrapes in the bed and work gloves on the dash. You can probably guess which.
  4. He has also scored 30+ points 10 more times than Anthony Davis has played for the Mavericks.

  6. We traded Fat Luka and ended up getting Fat AD. Is it the Dallas food?? Have you ever been to a Williams Chicken?
  7. Beautiful series before the penalty. Happy for the points, no complaints with Sark. You can’t call it better than that.
  8. I’m really surprised and saddened to see excuses for sexual abuse of minors from the, uh, Catholic League.
  9. Obligatory
  10. Good thing the SC players came out quickly. If they had stayed in there for 45 minutes and murdered some kids DPS would have been waiting outside with a swat team.
  11. No, I’m talking about “capitalism”. You know what “utopia” means.
  12. Come for the ratio, stay for the comments
  13. No, because that makes it not capitalism anymore. What you are saying is like calling a car-jacking “unrestrained capitalism” because the gun used to commit the crime was privately owned.
  14. The common meaning- unrestrained or uninhibited. So you can’t have uninhibited capitalism because the economic system we refer to as capitalism (like civilization itself) is a product of social and legal inhibition and restraints. To clarify- I’m not saying capitalism is a legal construct or abstraction because it’s not. But you can’t describe the degree of a thing is allowed to be itself by the extent to which it becomes its own opposite.
  15. Disagree. rent seeking and regulatory capture are the two greatest threats to the economic system capitalism, precisely because they stifle competition in the first place and inhibit efficient price discovery and cost allocation in the second. And again- it’s not pedantry. The general public and the media has largely been conditioned by propaganda into an Orwellian condition of describing anti-capitalism as capitalism. So to answer your question, @Sawbonz the phrase “unfettered capitalism” is a sort of oxymoronic irony, like “lawless state.” What we put fetters on and why is the distinction between capitalism and socialism.
  16. I disagree. It’s not pedantry. In the first place, it’s simply incorrect to say that “unfettered capitalism” tends toward monopoly. But more importantly the kleptocracy relies on linguistic constructs for control, because it allows them to rig the discourse against you. When you call what they are doing “unfettered capitalism,” a meaningless expression which to a layperson sounds like you are saying “letting markets work,” you’ve already lost the argument, because that’s not what’s happening at all. When a company bribes a president for an exclusive government contract, that’s not “unfettered capitalism.” A far more accurate statement would be to say that unpunished corruption leads to monopoly.
  17. Capitalism can’t really exist without various artifacts of state, eg private property and state power to enforce it. There’s a much longer explanation here beyond the scope of this thread, but a lot of our political discourse revolves around rent seekers and bad actors looking for state support hiding behind the word “capitalism” and people who just don’t want to get fucked over not having the vocabulary or conceptual framework to understand it.
  18. I said goddamn
  19. Capitalism is the opposite of corporate power. What people call capitalism in this context is not capitalism, but successful rent seeking and regulatory capture.
